No warning of Monday's strike

Five Russian ballistic missiles hit civilian infrastructure in Kyiv on Monday. Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine received no early warning from its western allies about the attack.

Early warning saves lives

Zelenskyy described the strike as particularly vile and emphasised that intelligence from western allies helps save lives. Early warning of ballistic missiles is one of the most critical issues.

“This is precisely what helps prevent people from being killed, when there is an early warning about ballistic missiles”

Trump demands Ukraine stop strikes

Donald Trump demanded Ukraine stop attacking Russian oil refineries and blamed Zelenskyy for rising US fuel prices. On Friday Trump announced a deal with Vladimir Putin to import diesel from Russia, dropping previous sanctions.

Trump claimed Moscow and Kyiv agreed an energy ceasefire. Zelenskyy said this was news to him. Russia continued bombing Ukraine's energy infrastructure despite the claimed agreement, he said.

Zelenskyy demands strong partners

Zelenskyy said he is willing to stop hitting Russian oil refineries only on a reciprocal basis with real guarantees Moscow will cease attacks on Ukraine's energy sites.

“Direct or indirect support for Russia, delaying aid to Ukraine, and complicating protection of lives from ballistics, this is what will definitely not work for peace.”
